Jerusalem, Israel, 2005
The Israeli West-Bank barrier is a barrier
being constructed by Israel consisting of a network of fences
with vehicle-barrier trenches surrounded by an on average
60 meters wide exclusion area (90%) and up to 8 meters high
concrete walls (10%). It is located mainly within the West
Bank, partly along the 1949 Armistice line, or "Green
Line" between Israel and Jordan which now demarcates
the West Bank. The barrier is a highly controversial project.
Supporters argue that the barrier is a necessary tool protecting
Israeli civilians from Palestinian terrorism, including suicide
bombing attacks, that increased significantly during the al-Aqsa
Intifada; it has helped to significantly reduce incidents
of terrorism from 2002 to 2005; its supporters assert that
the onus is on the Palestinian Authority to fight terrorism.
Opponents argue that the barrier is an illegal attempt to
annex Palestinian land under the guise of security, violates
international law, has the intent or effect to pre-empt final
status negotiations, and severely restricts Palestinians who
live nearby, particularly their ability to travel freely within
the West Bank and to access work in Israel.
